The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

A sinister figure is haunting the gas-lit streets of Victorian London. Who is the mysterious Edward Hyde? And what powerful hold does he have over the respectable Henry Jekyll? Part of the Usborne Young Reading series, this spine-chilling retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic adventure story is ideal for newly independent readers.
